Hi, my name is Joan. I teach fitness classes as well as Pilates in a northern New Jersey club part time. I'm just getting involved in hooping and I'm hoping to bring it into the club at some point.

I wanted something different that wasn't 100 percent low impact as many of the new fitness workouts are. I've watched several short clips using the hoop as a jump rope and to be able to combine low moves and some impact moves sold me on hooping.

I noticed most of the members are from southern Jersey. I'm actually closer to NYC. Are there any hoopers up north in Bergen County?

Would love to hear from you. Thanks!
